Chapter 908: Arriving in Mexico City
by xennovelOne day later.
Xu Shaochen arrived in Mexico City.
This is also the capital of Mexico.
Yes, it’s that bold. The cartel leader and the president live in the same city.
One of the most dangerous jobs in the world is that of the Mexican president.
Because no one can guarantee when the president will be killed by the cartel.
In Mexico, drugs have penetrated deep into the bones of society, with many civilians relying on this industry to survive.
This country is mostly beyond saving.
Whenever there’s a crackdown on the cartel, it involves massive military and police operations, but they often return empty-handed.
There are even times when they catch someone, but due to threats from the cartel, they have no choice but to let them go.
If the government wants to fight drugs, it’s not just about whether they can defeat the cartel— even the civilians won’t agree to it.
Because drugs have become the pillar industry of Mexico.
For Xu Shaochen’s trip to Mexico, the security team and the bodyguards accompanying him exceeded 700 people.
Compared to the cartel’s armed forces, 700 people might seem like a drop in the bucket, but the key is that all these 700 have been injected with the Genetic Serum.
To not exaggerate, theoretically speaking, each one of them could take on 10 people like it’s nothing.
But if you think that’s all there is to it, you’re sorely mistaken.
After all, Xu Shaochen’s safety concerns the entire Xu Corporation. No amount of caution is too much.
At the border, two legions from Xu Corporation’s international security company are stationed as a deterrent.
So, this time Xu Shaochen’s trip to Mexico brought about a rare cooperation between the local government and the cartel.
Both sides had to guarantee Xu Shaochen’s safety. Word had already spread: on the day Xu Shaochen arrived in Mexico City, no gunfire was allowed to be heard in the city.
No matter what deep grudges there were, everything had to cease for the day.
Anyone who dared target Xu Shaochen would face pursuit from both the government military and the cartel.
It could be said that Xu Shaochen’s display of power was only slightly less than those of official state visits.
Looking around the globe, how many businessmen even dare go to Mexico?
And even if they dared, who could boast arrangements like Xu Shaochen’s?
Often, Xu Shaochen himself didn’t even realize just how powerful his status had become.
At 9 AM.
The private jet carrying Xu Shaochen landed at the airport in Mexico City.
All flights to Mexico City had been grounded for the entire day just to clear the way for Xu Shaochen’s plane.
Apart from the heavily armed soldiers, there was no one else in sight at the entire airport.
Before Xu Shaochen disembarked from the plane, a row of bodyguards in suits and ties walked out first and lined up on both sides of the airplane door.
Then Xu Shaochen, in a black suit, casually stepped off the plane.
“Mr. Xu, welcome to Mexico,”
A group of middle-aged men in suits also hurried forward, with the leading man warmly extending his hand to Xu Shaochen.
“Thank you. I think I’ll like this place. If there’s a chance, I’d love to create something for this city,”
Xu Shaochen shook hands with the middle-aged man, saying some polite words.
This middle-aged man before him was the mayor of Mexico City.
After all, Xu Shaochen couldn’t openly announce that his trip to Mexico was to meet with the cartel leader Miguel, so he used the pretext of evaluating the local environment for investment.
Naturally, it was the Mexican government who had to handle the reception.
The fact that the mayor personally came to the airport to welcome Xu Shaochen was giving him a lot of respect.
“Mr. Xu, the hotel has been arranged. We’ll take you there now. This evening, your welcome banquet will be held at my residence. I hope you can attend.”
Chale said with a smile. He had already received strict orders to serve Xu Shaochen well, and he was eager to secure an investment.
The environment in Mexico is too complicated. Ordinary businessmen wouldn’t dare invest here. Only figures like Xu Shaochen have the guts and resources.
“Mr. Chale, your Chinese is quite impressive. If I didn’t see your skin color and appearance, I might’ve thought you were a native Chinese.”
Xu Shaochen let go of his hand and sincerely praised Chale.
Nowadays, more and more foreigners are speaking Chinese, a sign that the homeland is indeed growing stronger day by day.
“Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Xu. I’ve always admired Chinese culture, especially in areas like classical literature. If I get the chance, I hope to visit China and experience it myself.”
As they spoke, they entered a nearby bulletproof car and, escorted by the military, headed toward the hotel where Xu Shaochen was staying.
This hotel was specifically for hosting foreign dignitaries and had top-notch security. The decision to house Xu Shaochen here had been made after an internal meeting and vote.
“Mr. Xu, please rest. Someone will come to pick you up for the banquet later. I won’t disturb you anymore.”
After arriving at the hotel, Chale took the initiative to leave. He had to rush back and report on how the reception went.
“Take care.”
Xu Shaochen saw Chale off, then began to inspect the room.
The room was large and luxuriously decorated, with three bedrooms, a balcony, and an outdoor swimming pool. The glass windows were made of high-grade bulletproof material.
The reason behind using such glass was to prevent assassinations by snipers.
After all, if the U.S. is said to have ‘freedom every day with gunfights,’
Then Mexico doesn’t just have gunfights— it’s small-scale warfare, where people casually carry AKs and SMGs, spraying bullets down the street.
“Knock, knock, knock…”
Just then, there was a knock at the door.
Xu Shaochen walked over to open it.
He wasn’t afraid of any malicious visitors, after all, the entire corridor was filled with his men.
When he opened the door, Xu Shaochen saw a woman standing outside.
She had typical Mexican features, a tanned complexion, a tall, curvy figure, and exquisitely refined facial features. She could be considered quite the beauty.
“Sir,”
Seeing Xu Shaochen, the woman respectfully bowed.
“What’s the matter?”
Xu Shaochen asked.
The woman cautiously said, “Mr. Chale arranged for me to assist you with your daily needs during your stay.”
“Are you a professional at this?” Xu Shaochen asked, thinking she might be a socialite.
The woman shook her head, “I’m the director of a department in Mr. Chale’s office.”
Xu Shaochen was speechless. This arrangement was somewhat outrageous. A department director, even at the smallest level, was still an official, yet they had arranged for her to be his servant.
“You can go back; I don’t need that.”
Xu Shaochen waved her off. These people were up to no good, trying to harm his iron-strong kidneys.
Sending such a ‘juice girl’ over— they must have ulterior motives!
